    Shore Power System


    VN, VERSION2
    From build date 11.2002

    Shore Power (120V) System


    The sleeper compartment of VN cabs can be equipped with 120V outlets. These
    outlets can be used to power optional accessories, such as a microwave oven. An ex-
    ternal source must be connected to the cab power plug, located on the exterior of the
    cab on the driver’s side. The Shore Power System provides this “shore” or “hook-up”
    power for the vehicle.
    Some vehicles may be equipped with power inverters to change 12 volt DC battery
    power to 120 volt AC power. All factory installed power inverters are integrated with the
    Shore Power system.

    Design and Function


    Shore Power (120V) System
    NOTE: See “Shore Power (120V) System” page 1 for
    more information. This reference is for electronic use
    only.

    When parked on wet ground, do not use an external


    power source to connect to the cab power plug. Wa-
    ter is a conductor of electricity, and personal injury or
    death can occur in wet conditions.

    When an external power source is connected to the cab


    power plug, current is directed by an auxiliary power ca-
    ble to a circuit breaker box, or load center. A connection
    to the load center is made through the floor of the
    driver’s side luggage compartment. Current is supplied
    to each 120V outlet by additional auxiliary power cables.

    The load center is supplied with a ground in the wiring


    harness. W3005190

    GFCI must be reset by depressing the red button.
    NOTE: A tripped circuit is usually an indication of a fault
    in the circuit, or of an appliance being supplied with
    power. Every effort should be made to identify and cor-
    rect any fault that exists.

    NOTE: Observe polarity when attach-


    ing the connectors. The 120V power
    cables have indexing pins on the con-
    nectors. However, it is possible to
    force the connectors, causing a re-
    verse in polarity. In this case, the 120V

    Using the torx strap wrench to hold the

    Disconnect external power source prior to servicing


    the load center. Failure to do so could result in
    serious electrical shock, personal injury or death.
    Connect only after servicing is complete.

    The 120 volt receptacles may be indi-


    vidually replaced per the illustration,
    observing the following precautions:

    • Black commercial grade recepta-


    cles are required for proper repair.

    • Observe proper polarity.

    • Use the original spacers to stand


    off the receptacle from the cab
    trim.

    • If the receptacle is purchased


    from a local supplier, it may be
    necessary to remove the recepta-
    cle’s drywall ears to avoid putting
    stress on the cab trim.
